Is there a setting or anything that will keep the current time/frame in the timeline when switching views? ---

Hi Chris, I was about to write a response about how you can use before-graph-view-change and after-graph-view-change to store and reset the value, but in reality, it was just easier to write a proof of concept. So here you go 🙂. I think it works as you expect, but feel free to modify from here.
